here in the US, American citizens, hold rallies and call for the extermination of Jews and whole host of other hateful shit. Some have fire bombed and shot up Synagogues killing many. There have been 2 just this year. And that shit happens ALL OVER the world. Because, there are a whole lot of hateful, twisted lunatics in this world willing to commit evil vile atrocities. But you already know that.

Hamas is a terrorist group, key word there is terrorist, splintered off from the Muslim Brotherhood. They are ruthless brutal psychopaths that will do whatever to further their agenda like all terrorists groups. The world is well versed on how terrorists operate. Or should be.

Israel cozying up to Hamas because they were more friendly to the Israeli agenda than the Palestinian Authority has proved to be as big of a mistake as it was for the US to back, arm and train "rebel fighters" against the Russians in Afghanistan which resulted in the creation of Al Queda. Israel will NOT destroy Hamas with tanks and bombs rolling through the streets of Gaza. Because like every other terrorist group, for every one killed, there will be 5 more lined up to take their place plus another 5 newly created. Hamas does not care about the civilians of Gaza. They only care about their intended goal. Civilians are merely a tool in their plan. I believe the goal was to provoke a specific reaction. Very much like the US reaction after 9/11. One that will cause a LOT of discord, division and horror across the globe. And it's looking like they will be getting EXACTLY what they hoped for.

The US spent 20 years and trillions of dollars and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and thousands of soldiers in "The war against terrorism." How'd that work out on "destroying" terrorist groups?
